NBA Sunday: Knicks vs. Pacers Game 3 Odds, Over/Under Picks, SGP
The Pacers are up 2-0 and favored by two points against the spread, with a total point line sitting at 223.
PRO Projections show value in betting the over on these three player props.
The top pick of the slate is Aaron Nesmith going over 12.5 points. PRO’s model projects Nesmith to score 16.3 points, a significant edge over the betting market. Nesmith already showed he can perform under playoff pressure by scoring 30 points in Game 1, making this prop the clearest advantage.
Next up, high-flying Obi Toppin is projected for over 7.5 points by PRO, which estimates a fairer total of 9.0 points. As a key role player for the Pacers, especially at home, Toppin’s scoring potential is a strong bet to land over the total.
Rounding out the picks is Knicks guard Josh Hart, projected to go over 9.5 points. Action PRO models’ expected total for Hart is 12.1. Given the discrepancy between the market line and ours, Hart Over is the best value on the Knicks’ side regarding point totals.
When combined, these three overs form a same-game parlay paying +503 at FanDuel.
